Pride of Boerne

Hunter Lawrence will remain UT’s starting kicker in charge of field goals and point-after attempts. Lawrence booted a 40-yard field goal and was perfect on six point-after kicks in the win against Florida Atlantic.

UT coach Mack Brown had said early in fall camp that Lawrence was showing the type of form that brought him to the Longhorns after a standout career at Boerne — meaning Lawrence was showing both accuracy and a booming leg.

After a splendid fall camp, Lawrence moved into the starting role when Ryan Bailey, who was named to the Lou Groza Award watch list for the nation’s top kicker, missed practice time with a groin injury. Brown said that Bailey could play, and he did kick one point-after late in the game Saturday.
